I did a bit more digging and found this: https://go-review.googlesource.com/c/text/+/55331/
Which states: "language: remove manual hr -> sr mapping was removed in CLDR for geo-political reasons" Which answers why it doesn't work so I think it is just the example that needs removing/updating. I think it could use "bs" (Bosnian) instead of "sr-Latn" and still make the point it was trying to.
